Route 666
Introduction I don't know what popped this into my head. I was reading an old blog post about the 101ers and the band name coming from George Orwell's 1984 then I thought of Girlschool covering Gun's "Race With The Devil" and thought what road would they be on, then thought of the song "Route 66" and the road Route 66 which runs from Chicago to Los Angeles nearly two and a half thousand miles:

John Scott Is Cured
Introduction My friend John Scott is a writer and comedian and has been sharing and commenting on some great songs by the Cure today. I asked him if I could collect them for this Vocal story and he was up for it but said when the gin kicked in later there would be a lot more.

Hyperfixation Songs (and why they are a less expensive option than Pickleball) . Top Story - March 2024.
First, let's get this out of the way! It's been a few months since I have published anything on Vocal. I've been lurking here reading and commenting but not writing anything and also not entering any of the challenges, not even the non Vocal+ one that I wouldn't have to pay to enter. Why not? Why wouldn't I bother coming up with something for such a cool challenge?

My Modern 80s Playlist
As someone who grew up with 80s music. I have been accustomed to the genre. I wasn’t even four years old before my mother sat me on the couch and played Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler, Natalie Cole, and the list goes on. My mother is the reason I got into 80s music and she's also the reason I raided her CD collection (Sorry Mom).

Playlist: Politics. Top Story - March 2024.
Jen Dixon – The Sound Political is personal. The rumbling scandal around the Teesside freeport might seem arcane, but the whiff of dodgy deals seeps into people’s lives. And, when those people are gifted songwriters, it sparks the creative process. Jen Dixon’s work has tended to be a response to her own relationships and feelings, but the more she read about the freeport in the likes of Private Eye, the more she was inspired to write.

Playlist: Folksy flavours
Amelia Coburn - See Saw With echoes of a nursery rhyme, and lyrics that gently straddle the boundary between fairy tale and dark fantasy, this is a delight. If a tribute to a great new song is that it reminds you of a forgotten old favourite, this one had hints of Copenhagen’s Blanketshow, another waltz with a hint of the macabre that got some heavy rotation in the early 2000s. The video, which continues Amelia’s collaboration with the Whippet Up puppet theatre, is also well worth a look, highlighting some acting talent to go with the music.
